Come join Twistedpalms Salty Adventures for an unforgettable day on the water. With over 35 years of fishing, Captain Shults enjoys providing a quality experience to his guests. Captain Shults enjoys teaching his skills to the inexperienced and younger anglers and is a perfect match for those looking to learn. 

This charter is kid friendly and made for families to enjoy.  If the scheduled time is a concern, contact the Captain and he will be more than accommodating to suit your needs.

Additionally, he is set up and ready for those more experienced anglers to satisfy their desire to push the limits of offshore fishing.

Safety is paramount on his vessel and he will not take out a trip where the safety of all passengers is a concern. He has been fishing the local wrecks and reefs in the Pensacola area for over 10 years and will work hard to get you on spots that hold lots of tasty fish.

You will board a comfortable 27’ Tidewater boat, with 360 degrees of fishing space for a quick ride into the Gulf, or Pensacola Bay where you can target a variety of species. This center console is big enough to accommodate up to 6 guests, so bring your friends and family along. She’s powered by twin 200 HP Yamaha engines and features the latest Garmin navigational electronics.

Red Snapper and Triggerfish season is one of the most popular times to fish. You will have a chance to catch a Snapper or Triggerfish of your lifetime, while possibly hooking into a huge Amberjack, Cobia, Grouper, Kingfish, and Mahi Mahi.

There are no guarantees with nature. However, during your trip, Capt. Shults will do everything he can to keep you in the action.

There are plenty of options and types of fishing available in the Perdido Key area and Twistedpalms Salty Adventures will be happy to set your charter to your needs.

If fishing isn’t your thing look us up on boatbooker for other available charter options.

Captain Larry and his deckhand never stopped working to get us on the fish. There was always a baited line ready to go after you caught a fish or one stole your bait. His boat and equipment were top notch. I will definitely book again.

Half Day- offshore 6 hrs on June 20, 2025

We have fished in the Gulf many times. This was easily the best trip we’ve had. We caught our limit of Red Snapper including a couple that measured 25 and 27 inches. Also caught grouper, a gag grouper that was released and 6 small Mahi. Skipper Larry and mate Lucas put us on the fish. Gotta go with Twisted Palms, Salty Adventures!!!

Captain Larry way great even before the trip started. He messaged us when the weather changed to make sure we could get out. Once we got out he did a great job getting us on fish and helping us catch them. My 11 year old son had a great time and captain made sure he was successful!

Captain Larry was very accommodating and vigilant on finding fish. The environment was tough with strong winds and tides but Captain Larry got us a spot and we found fish and had a good time.

I grew up developing a passion for the great outdoors. After working 31 years trying to find time to spend out on the waters, I decided to retire early and open a charter business to share my passion for fishing with others.
